About
Mechanical Engineer with more than 15 years of experience in the design, calculation, and optimization of industrial equipment and pressure systems.
I specialize in pressure vessels, autoclaves, thermal systems, and custom industrial machinery, working in compliance with European regulations and standards such as EN 13445, PED, AD 2000, and ATEX when applicable.
My background includes the complete engineering lifecycle of industrial equipment:
• Concept development and feasibility studies
• Mechanical and thermal calculations
• Pressure equipment design and verification
• CAD design and detailing (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Plant 3D)
• Manufacturing drawings and technical documentation
• Design optimization for safety, cost, and manufacturability
• Support for certification, audits, and regulatory compliance
I have extensive experience working with regulated environments, including pharmaceutical and process industries, where traceability, documentation quality, and compliance are critical.
Typical deliverables I provide include calculation reports, Excel-based engineering tools, 2D manufacturing drawings, 3D CAD models, and technical documentation ready for internal reviews or third-party certification.
I work closely with clients to translate functional requirements into robust, manufacturable engineering solutions, maintaining clear communication, realistic timelines, and a strong focus on engineering quality.
Industries served include industrial equipment manufacturers, process engineering companies, pharmaceutical and biotech suppliers, and custom machinery builders.
